Our AI Development Services in Cairo
Everything under one roof, so a Cairo business does not have to coordinate separate design, development and support vendors.

Generative AI & LLM Apps
Assistants, copilots and content generation on frontier and open-weight models, with prompts versioned and tested like code.

AI Chatbot Development
Customer and employee chatbots that answer from your own documents and data, cite sources and hand over to a human when unsure.

AI Agents & Automation
Agents that complete multi-step tasks across your tools — with guardrails, approval steps and a full log of what they did.

Machine Learning Models
Prediction, forecasting, classification and recommendation models trained on your data, with monitoring and retraining built in.

Computer Vision
Inspection, detection, OCR and image classification for documents, products and production lines.

AI Consulting & Strategy
An honest assessment of where AI will pay back in your business, what it will cost per request, and where it should not be used.
Technologies behind our AI systems.
We are model-agnostic: we use frontier models where quality matters most, smaller or open-weight models where cost and privacy matter more, and often both in one system. The engineering around the model — retrieval, evaluation, guardrails, caching and monitoring — is where most AI projects succeed or fail, and it is where we spend most of our effort.
For Cairo projects we typically host on AWS Bahrain or UAE, or European regions, with local hosting where regulators require, and integrate with Fawry and Paymob; Meeza and InstaPay; Vodafone Cash; and ETA e-invoicing.
Turning ideas into AI systems that work.
A structured, agile process that keeps your AI development project on time, on budget and visible at every stage.
Problem Framing
We define what a correct answer looks like and how it will be measured before writing code — vague success criteria sink more AI projects than any model choice.
Deliverables: Use-case definition, success metrics, feasibility and cost estimate
Data & Evaluation Set
We gather real examples from your business with expected outputs. This becomes the yardstick every later change is scored against.
Deliverables: Data audit, labelled evaluation set, baseline score
Prototype
The smallest working system that produces a measurable score, usually within two to four weeks, so you know whether the approach works early.
Deliverables: Working prototype, evaluation report, go / no-go recommendation
Production Engineering
Guardrails, fallbacks, caching, cost ceilings, access control and the integrations that connect the AI to your real systems and users.
Deliverables: Production system, security review, cost model
Launch & Monitoring
Released behind a flag to a small group first, with tracing that shows exactly what the system did for every request.
Deliverables: Staged rollout, dashboards, human-review workflow
Continuous Improvement
Failures feed back into the evaluation set, and models or prompts are upgraded only when the score proves the change is better.
Deliverables: Monthly quality report, model and prompt updates

Working with Cairo clients.
Hours and overlap
Cairo is 2.5 to 3.5 hours behind India, so most of the working day is shared; the working week runs Sunday to Thursday.
Meetings and workshops
Remote engagement with a named lead, a regular video sync at an agreed time, and work tracked in your own tools.
Regulation and data
Egypt's Personal Data Protection Law requires licences for cross-border transfers; the central bank and financial regulator license payment and lending businesses, and e-invoicing is mandatory.
Frequently asked questions.
About AI development in Cairo, and about working with Drema.
Do you have a team in Cairo?
We work with Cairo clients through one named lead who is your point of contact from kickoff to handover, backed by the same engineering team on every project.
Can the AI we build handle the languages and data rules in Cairo?
Current models handle Arabic and English well enough for most business tasks, and we measure that on your own examples before committing rather than assuming it. On data handling: Egypt's Personal Data Protection Law requires licences for cross-border transfers; the central bank and financial regulator license payment and lending businesses, and e-invoicing is mandatory. Where sensitivity demands it we deploy into your cloud account in Middle East or Europe or use self-hosted open-weight models.
How long does AI development take for a Cairo company?
A prototype scored against your own examples usually lands in two to four weeks — deliberately early, so you know whether the approach works before significant money is spent. Hardening it for production, with guardrails, monitoring and cost controls, typically takes another six to ten weeks.
Which Cairo industries do you build AI systems for?
Most often Fintech, E-commerce & D2C, Telecom and Healthcare, because that is where Cairo's economy is concentrated. We are not limited to those sectors — the engineering transfers — but that is where we can bring the most relevant experience to a first conversation.
Which local systems can you integrate with?
Most Cairo projects touch Fawry and Paymob; Meeza and InstaPay; Vodafone Cash; and ETA e-invoicing. We integrate with what your customers and staff already use, and we check API access and commercial terms for each before committing to a timeline.
How much does custom AI development cost?
Scope drives the cost far more than the AI does. A focused system on a well-defined problem typically runs a few weeks of engineering; a platform with retrieval, evaluation and multi-model orchestration is a longer engagement. We quote after a scoping call, and we tell you if the problem does not warrant AI at all.
Do you build with your own models or use existing ones?
We use existing frontier and open-weight models for the overwhelming majority of work, because training from scratch is rarely justifiable. The value we add is the retrieval, orchestration, evaluation and guardrails around the model, which is where projects usually fail.
How do you stop the AI from making things up?
Three things in combination: grounding answers in retrieved source content, constraining outputs to structures we validate, and an evaluation suite that catches regressions before release. We also design the interface so the system can say it does not know.
Can you work with our existing data?
Yes, and it is usually the point. We handle ingestion, cleaning, chunking and embedding of your documents, databases and APIs so the system reasons over your material rather than generic training data.
What if our data is confidential?
We work under NDA by default, can deploy into your own cloud account, and can use models with no-training data commitments or self-hosted open-weight models where the sensitivity requires it.
How long before we see something working?
A prototype scored against a real evaluation set typically lands within two to three weeks. That is deliberately early, because it tells us whether the approach is viable before significant money is committed.
